Finding the right charger for my 2009 MacBook

Hi,


Recently, I bought my first ever Mac, a Late 2009 13-inch MacBook (Model A1342). It came with a cheap power adapter that did the job, until just recently, when it already stopped working. Now I need a new adapter, and I want to buy an official adapter for my Mac. I just don’t know which adapter this originally came with.


Can anyone tell me which adapter this originally shipped with, or if there is one, what current adapter would be compatible with it?
